Video: Three riders have lucky escape after crashing into turning pickup

U-turns in Thailand can be a dangerous thing even if there is a traffic cop directing traffic it would seem after a video was posted on social media showing dash cam footage of a motorbike colliding with a turning pickup.

Luckily no one was killed in the accident and the pickup’s driver had quick enough reactions to stop the vehicle before it ran over the driver of the bike.

The footage shows the two bike passengers picking themselves up without any apparent injuries, however none of the bike riders were wearing helmets.

The footage was uploaded to Facebook by “khun Chai Ek Aitim Sa” with the intention of reminding the public how dangerous U-turns can be.
